National Highway 446 at the foot of Qilin Mountain——
On this straight section of road that is usually sparsely populated, several cars with their doors wide open were parked on both sides of the road.
The car was empty, with only instrument parts placed on the seats. All the staff of "Spiritual Affairs" and the five contestants rushed to the tree that was hit.
The tree trunk, which was as thick as a man could hug, was embedded in the dented and smoking front of the car, and half of the wood was turned over.
Several strong young men grabbed the base of the car and used all their strength to move the scrapped car backwards.
Because the car rushed into the woods on the right side of the road at high speed, the ground was covered with grass roots and soft soil mixed with stone chips, and the tires left two deep marks in the mud.
If you want to push the car out, the friction is much greater than on a flat concrete road, so even three or four adult men pushing the car together would still find it difficult.
Just as they were cheering in deep voices with red faces, they suddenly felt the vehicle they were pushing become lighter, and the vehicle that was originally moving slowly was pushed out more than one meter.
The staff member looked up with surprise and saw Gu Zhisang standing at the rear of the car at some point.
Her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing a white and slender wrist. She let go of the hand holding the rear seat with a normal expression, hiding her achievements and fame.
The moment she let go, the vehicle, which had become "light", became heavy again.
Staff: …
Although he was shocked by Gu Zhisang's strength, the more important thing now was his colleagues in the car.
Everyone quickly opened the car door and tried to pull the people out.
"Brother Wu? Xiao Zhang? Are you okay?!"
"Hurry up, hurry up and lift the car back. Don't force anyone to open the door. Old Wu's legs seem to be crushed by the deflated front of the car!"
“…”
After a rescue operation, the three staff members in the car were successfully rescued.
Among them, the driver Lao Wu was the most seriously injured.
One of his legs was stuck under the deformed front of the car, blood gushing out. The pain made him sweat profusely and he couldn't utter a word. He could only roar meaninglessly in pain.
Fortunately, there is an extraordinary spiritual doctor among this group of people: Bai Ci.
Without using any tools, Bai Ci just squatted in front of Lao Wu and placed his palm on the injured part of his leg, making clockwise circles in mid-air.
In just half a minute, the bleeding from Old Wu's leg gradually stopped, and the other people around him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Li Chenghe was in a lot of trouble and couldn't help asking, "Master Bai Ci, Xiao Wu...?"
Bai Ci: "Did you call the ambulance?"
"I did call for help, but this place is too remote. It will take more than half an hour for the nearest ambulance to arrive..."
"Yeah, it's okay." Bai Ci nodded, thought for a moment and said soothingly: "Don't worry, you can save your leg."
Hearing these words, Old Wu, who was pale and covered in cold sweat, cried and laughed, gasped and kept saying words of gratitude.
Xiao Zhang, who was sitting in the passenger seat and was talking on the phone with the cameraman, was hit in the front when the car turned sharply. A purple swelling appeared on his head and traces of blood were running down the skin on his forehead.
In addition, his shoulders and arms close to the car window were also cut by the shattered glass.
Only the young man in the back seat was least injured.
To be precise, when he saw the abnormality around him for the first time, he was frightened and fainted, and his body fell limply into the back seat of the car.
When the car collided with the tree trunk, his body rolled under the car, and his ribs and waist were bruised. After he slowly woke up, he kept shouting that his body was in pain.
But after Bai Ci's examination, he confirmed that these were only superficial injuries, with no damage to the bones or internal organs.
After confirming that no one's life was in danger, everyone finally let go of their worries.
Gu Zhisang suddenly asked, "What did you just encounter?"
The others also came to their senses and followed up with another question: “Yeah, it really scared us to death!”
The young man's face froze when he woke up, and he couldn't help but recall the horrifying scene in his mind.
He trembled as he told the story of how he had done a good deed to save a pregnant woman, but the pregnant woman turned into a ghost:
"Anyway, I turned my head and saw that its face was covered with what looked like blood... I couldn't see the clothes on its body, but its limbs looked like they were burnt by fire. It was pitch black and skinny, and it emitted a very strange smell."
"Then I lost consciousness."
Just listening to his description, many staff members felt cold under their feet.
Li Chenghe couldn't help but looked at Gu Zhisang and asked, "Sangsang, could it be that Xiao Zhang and the others encountered..."
The reason why he only asked Gu Zhisang was not only because in Li Chenghe's opinion, Gu Zhisang was the most capable among all the contestants;
It was also because she had just discovered that something was wrong with Xiao Zhang and the others, so she asked the cameraman to call them.
Gu Zhisang looked around and nodded, "It's what you thought. It's pretty fierce."
"And it hasn't gone far. It's right here."
Li Chenghe/audience:? ! !
Gu Zhisang continued, "'Ghost blocking the car' is usually a bad omen. The ghosts use their powers to blind the eyes of the people in the car, making them unable to see the obstacles and the road ahead. Fortunately, we were not driving by the river or on a bridge, otherwise they would not have hit the tree, but rushed directly into the lake."
"Generally speaking, when a 'ghost stops a car' to harm someone, it wants to find a substitute, but this ghost is obviously not like that. I don't feel that it wants to use these three people as substitutes. This is the most difficult part..."
"This shows that it simply wants to harm people."
The voice paused for a moment, and Gu Zhisang's eyes turned cold: "It's still nearby and unwilling to leave, which means it has not yet eliminated its evil intentions and is still interested in us."
At this time, the staff couldn't help but look up and look at the shaded trees on both sides of the road.
Influenced by Gu Zhisang's words, everyone always felt that something was watching them in secret and might jump out at any time, and they felt panic in their hearts.
Daisy's palm was pressed against the vehicle. She looked up and said, "There is indeed a very strong evil force in the car. It is very powerful. It ranks among the top five dark creatures I have ever seen!"
The other three also nodded, indicating that they had also sensed it and felt very uncomfortable.
Hearing what the contestants said, core employees like Li Chenghe, producers, and hosts, as well as the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room who had just watched the pilot video, all knew that the young boy who died had mysteriously as mentioned by the person seeking help died on this road leading to Wata Village.
They were more frightened and nervous than the uninformed staff and contestants.
For a time, related terms such as #Spiritual Program Group Car Accident# and #The Most Dangerous Highway Qilin Mountain National Highway# directly rushed to the front row of hot searches, attracting a lot of attention.
[Everyone in the live broadcast room watched the car crash into the tree. My adrenaline surged while watching it, and my heart was beating in my throat! ]
[Help... My scalp is numb just by listening to the description. Should we continue filming this episode? Can the safety of the staff and contestants be guaranteed?]
[I have to say that my interest has been aroused. It's so exciting! I hope the production team can continue filming while ensuring safety. ]
Many netizens who had not originally followed the live broadcast were shocked after seeing the screenshots and screen recordings online, and directly entered the "Spiritual Affairs" live broadcast room which was still broadcasting.
Seeing the number of people increasing, the live broadcast room barrage was full of people asking the staff about the current situation. The host Liu Da hurriedly said:
"All three staff members are not in danger of death and are awaiting the arrival of an ambulance."
At this time, director Li Chenghe called Gu Zhisang and others, as well as several follow-up photographers, aside and said:
“Everyone should have some guesses about this help-seeking competition, which is to investigate the supernatural events in Watuo Village.
I didn't expect something like this to happen on the way into the village, so I came to seek the advice of the masters, should I continue into the village?"
"As for those of you who are filming and don't want to go, I won't force you. After all, this concerns personal safety."
Gu Zhisang nodded slightly: "I don't care, you can go."
She was quite interested in the area at the foot of Qilin Mountain where a faint gray mist was coming out, and the ghost pregnant woman mentioned by the staff member who had just had an accident.
None of the other contestants wanted to leave.
Three people who were filming were hesitant. After some hesitation, two of them decided to leave with the injured staff member.
After receiving the order to continue to enter the village and explore and shoot, Liu looked at the camera and said:
"After discussion and verification between the program team and the contestants, they decided to continue to go deeper into Watuo Village."
"This decision was made unanimously by all the players, and we will do our best to ensure the safety of the players."
The audience members were all in the live broadcast room calling on the production team to pay attention to safety;
Some people even joked that "the contestants and the program team don't know who is protecting whom yet."
After the ambulance arrived and carried the three injured away, the staff who decided not to follow left the national highway with the team responsible for towing the truck.
The rest of the people packed up and continued to drive to the foot of Qilin Mountain.
The young man who was responsible for filming Gu Zhisang did not leave.
He was sitting in the front row at this time. Although he had not yet calmed down from the incident just now, he felt inexplicably at ease when he thought that there was a super boss sitting behind him.
He couldn't help but ask, "Sister Gu, that was too weird! Those things... can they even control the speed of the car?"
Gu Zhisang raised his eyes: "It's not about controlling the car, it's about controlling the people."
"You can understand it as everyone just entered a ghost wall, but the car at the front was unlucky and was the focus of attention."
The people affected were not only those in Lao Wu's car, but also ordinary people in the entire fleet.
When the aura of the evil object spread to her body, she noticed it at the first moment and covered the entire car under her protection.
In her eyes, a ghost with such radiation ability can be considered "quite fierce".
Gu Zhisang seemed to sense something and looked ahead, "We're here."
Outside the window, I could clearly see the foot of Qilin Mountain, with a cluster of scattered villages standing on the undulating plains at the foot of the mountain.
——
When the car arrived at the entrance of the village, it attracted many villagers to watch.
Most of them were middle-aged and elderly people and children, all wearing costumes with local ethnic characteristics. They looked around the vehicles and the program crew, speaking ethnic dialects that Gu Zhisang and others could not understand.
Most of the younger faces seen in the crowd are women.
In the live broadcast room, there are viewers of the same ethnicity who can understand the ethnic dialect and are translating in real time.
It turned out that the program crew was delayed on the way here, so they called the chief of Watuo Village and the village cadres who said they would pick them up in advance and told them that they would arrive a little later.
As a result, all the villagers knew that something happened when the outsiders came in.
This was also what they had been discussing this afternoon.
From the conversation among the villagers, we can learn that they originally thought that outsiders like Gu Zhisang would die on the national highway and would definitely not be able to reach the village.
Unexpectedly, not only did they come in, but so many of them came at once!
An elderly man walked out of the crowd, leaning on a crutch and supported by others. He was the most senior person in the village.
He doesn't speak Mandarin, so the middle-aged man next to him acted as the person who talked to the program crew.
The man's name is Lamu and he is 39 years old.
Lamu: "Thank you all friends from other places for coming from afar to help our Wata Village. I am aware of your program team's requirements and have already told the villagers in advance that they will not affect you."
Li Chenghe shook hands with him politely and said, "Thank you for troubling the old clan leader and all the brothers and sisters."
"It's getting late, so why don't we start now? Let's let some of the contestants take a quick look."
After Lamu nodded, the host Liu said:
"We are now in the center of Watuo Village in Qilin Mountain. The environment here is beautiful and the people are simple and honest. It's like a paradise. What kind of strange things happened in such a piece of land that made the whole village panic and restless?"
"Next, we will invite our five contestants to observe the village at will and explore the secrets of the village. After all the contestants have finished their exploration, we will reveal the answers together!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Zhisang and others scattered in Watuo Village.
Compared to others, Gu Zhisang's side was much quieter.
She spoke almost no words as she strolled slowly through the village, only occasionally pausing to look at certain places and contemplate for a moment.
What was a little strange was that from the moment they entered the village, most of the people they saw, especially adults, were wearing masks.
According to village cadre Lamu, this is because people in their village are shy and do not like to deal with outsiders.
Knowing that they were coming to the village to shoot a video, they didn’t want to show up.
This reason is reasonable.
But when Gu Zhisang passed by a dilapidated stilt house, he looked up and saw a little girl of six or seven years old standing by the window and secretly looking at him. She was clearly indoors and was wearing a hand-sewn floral mask on her face.
After staring at Gu Zhisang for two or three seconds, the girl was pulled into the house by the cursing elder, and the curtains of the window were drawn from the inside.
She walked most of the village aimlessly, as if taking a stroll.
When she finally returned to the meeting place, everyone else had already arrived and she was the only one left.
Da Liu: "Sangsang is back! Everything is ready, let's get started."
The gathering place for the contestants was an empty wheat field in Watuo Village. Chairs and tables had been set up in advance. The old patriarch sat in the first seat, sucking on his pipe with his puffed lips.
A group of villagers gathered around to listen to the fun.
The first person to come on stage was No. 10 Xi Haihong, who was also the last Xuanmen person in the show.
Her face was a little serious, and she said: "I went around your village twice and did find some problems."
"First, there are some soul fragments floating around in your village. They were torn apart in a rather ferocious and cruel way. You can think of them as traces left after the soul was shattered. There are quite a few soul fragments, which means that there is more than one soul that was torn apart.
There should be quite a few people in your village who have died tragically during this period!"
As soon as Xi Haihong finished her words, Lamu and others who were sitting on both sides of the wheat field and could understand Mandarin suddenly changed their expressions and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't expect that these outsiders were so capable that they could actually see the strange things in the village at a glance!
Lamu nodded and said, "You are right. There have always been accidents in our village recently! And they are all very strange."
Xi Haihong nodded and said, "Liqi is right. The one who can shred the soul must be a psychic or a master with certain abilities...
Or it could be an extremely ferocious ghost!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers' expressions changed again. I don't know what they were thinking about, but they looked a little ugly.
Xi Haihong said: "In addition, I also found that there is a barrier in your village."
Da Liu asked aloud, "What is a barrier?"
"It's similar to a formation." Xi Haihong said: "The reason why I am sure there is a barrier here is because the broken souls have no consciousness and can easily be blown away by the wind when they float in the air. But when I was observing your village, I found a phenomenon."
"Those soul fragments at the entrance of the village just kept spinning, but they couldn't float out with the wind..."
This naturally means that Watuo Village is shrouded by an invisible and unseen force.
Xi Haihong said: "But I have never seen this kind of barrier before, so I don't know if it will have any effect on the people in your village."
After a moment of silence, Lamu said coldly: "Yes."
"One of the strange things in our village is that no one can get out of the village. They ride their bikes along the road at the entrance of the village to the national highway, but they just keep circling in the same place and can't get out. The scariest thing is that some villagers vaguely saw something while circling..."
"That's it. With this level of power, you can't leave the village."
Because Xi Haihong's ability is to be extremely sensitive to ghosts, after making these two discoveries, she said frankly that she had no other special discoveries.
The second contestant to take the stage was the Thai sorcerer He Mi Tu.
As soon as he came on stage, the audience in the live broadcast room were attracted by the lifelike wooden idol on his shoulder.
The doll was covered in gold and carved into a smiling figure with an umbilical cord in its mouth. The details of its facial features and limbs were extremely lifelike.
Some viewers who were watching the program in the live broadcast room said that Mi Tu was becoming more and more evil, and his behavior was becoming more and more self-willed.
Some people also said that the person on his shoulders looked like an idol, which made people feel creepy.
However, some viewers who really understand metaphysics and Thai witchcraft said that the wooden puppet with the human figure on He Mi Tu's shoulder did not indicate that he was doing anything evil, and was completely different from the "little ghost" in China.
If you look closely, you will find that this big human idol is exactly the same as the image of the 'Oil Ghost' soaked in golden oil in the transparent pendant hanging on He Mi Tu's neck!
This shows that He Mi Tu's ability has improved, and at the same time, the 'Oil Ghost' he raised has become more and more clever.
The transformation from Otaru to a solo idol is a manifestation of the deepening abilities of this "Grease Boy".
There are rumors that if the soul of the "Oil Ghost" is completely cultivated and merged with the human idol, the human idol can be made to "come alive" and be able to run and move like a real baby.
The reason why some people find that "Grease Ghost" scary is probably because they have strong inspiration and can sense the soul residing in human idols.
After standing still, the first words He Mi Tu said were:
"This village has a strong curse, and there is also a 'ghost boy' with a very strong grudge."
He touched the smiling golden idol on his shoulder with his slender fingertips, but his expression was a little ugly:
"That's what it told me: 'There are people like me here', and it can't be wrong.
So someone in your village did something extremely unscrupulous and raised a big evil spirit!"
After hearing what He Mi Tu said, the onlookers were furious and started shouting that he was talking nonsense and that it was impossible for anyone in their village to do such a thing.
Liu Da looked at the angry villagers and quickly interrupted, "Ahem, Master He Mi Tu, you said... the same kind? Are you referring to a child ghost in the village?"
He Mi Tu spoke word by word: "It's not a ghost, but a ghost. That thing must have a physical body."
"Because I can feel that there is indeed the 'barrier' that Xi Haihong mentioned in this village. To be more precise, it is a curse, and that ghost should be the cursed eye."
"Someone sacrificed that extremely resentful ghost, and used his own lifetime as the price, to swear that everyone in this village would have a bad death and no chance of reincarnation!"
As he spoke, he made strange gestures with his hands, as if he was calculating something.
After he finished calculating, he forced himself to swallow the sweet taste in his throat, and his slightly pale face became more serious:
“I looked at it two or three times to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake.
This curse has been going on for some time. If anyone dies in your village, it must be related to this curse."
"An ordinary ghost cannot withstand such a powerful and wide-ranging curse. The curse eye must have a physical body as a sacrifice!"
Almost every time He Mi Tu said a word, the villagers' expressions changed by one degree.
Soon some emotional villagers began to curse, but they also spoke the language of the minority.
The audience in the live broadcast room also thought of something, and the audience of this ethnic group was also diligently translating:
[Someone in the village has raised a 'ghost boy'? Could it be the one that the program crew just crashed on the highway? Damn, they didn't specially get a pregnant woman just to raise a ghost boy...]
[The two women at the back were swearing, but they were not swearing at Xiao He. They were swearing at someone else. It sounded like a woman's name. The general meaning of the swearing was that this woman was shameless and did something bad, and ended up going crazy at the people in the village...]
[Thank you for your hard work translating, this is a lot of information, but I can be sure that the things happening in the village are indeed related to that ghost pregnant woman! ]
Liu Da asked: "Then may I ask contestant He Mi Tu, can you remove this curse?"
He Mi Tu: "I can, but I won't answer it."
He stroked the human idol on his shoulder, his tone cold.
If you want to break the curse and poison of this village, you have to fight against the cursed creature "Ghost" and the manipulator behind it.
He Mi Tu had a premonition that if he rashly fought, the 'Oil Ghost' that he had raised with so much effort would be destroyed in the fight.
Soon the third contestant: No. 2 Bai Ci came on stage.
This time, he held in his hands a hedgehog with light gray-black hairs for the first time in a long time.
After entering the stage, Bai Ci said: "After entering this village, I smelled a very strong medicinal fragrance, which is not the bitter smell of ordinary Chinese medicine."
"There should be patients in the village who have been seriously injured by unnatural forces. A spiritual doctor who knows medicine has already prescribed special medicines for these patients."
Ramu nodded and said:
"In our village, there are indeed two grandmothers who can tell fortunes. Whenever villagers have a headache or encounter any strange things, they will go to these two grandmothers for help."
Some viewers expressed regret after hearing this.
Because Bai Ci's greatest ability is "medicine". If there is a master who can treat illnesses in the village, then what he can do in this help-seeking match will be greatly reduced.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ci, who was holding the hedgehog, shook his head slightly and said:
"It's a pity that those two seniors can't treat the illnesses that the people in your village are suffering from now."
While the audience was in confusion and the villagers were shocked and panicked, he finally put on a serious face and stared at Lamu and the other villagers' faces seriously.
Bai Ci pointed his finger at his cheek and said, "All of you have lesions on your face."
"The reason you wear masks is not because you don't want to be on camera, but because your face is rotten and you can't be on camera and meet people."
